I have a object (Contract) that is editable on creation, but then after it is saved, I make all fields not editable by following the example provided in
http://www.devexpress.com/Support/Center/Question/Details/Q310354
Now my problem is that I have a single STATUS field that needs updating as the 'Contract' goes through various phases in the business, but I have validation rules on dates. Now as time progresses certain validations fail on the dates and this then prevents me from updating the STATUS of the contract.
My question is: Is there a way to make validation rules ONLY apply when IsNewObject=true and otherwise not to be applied.
I have hunted high and low and the only solution I can come up with is implementing CustomValidation.
Any guidance appreciated.
